List of Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2/3 cup grated Pecorino Romano
- 1/3 cup grated provolone
- 2 T chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
- 4 T olive oil
- salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 (1 1/2 lbs) flank steak
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 1/4 cups marinara sauce
Instructions
- Stir the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in 2 T of the oil. Season mixture with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Lay the flank steak on the work surface. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak to cover the top evenly. Starting at 1 short end, roll up the steak as for a jelly roll to enclose the filling completely. Using butcher's twine, tie the steak roll to secure. Sprinkle the braciole with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the remaining 2 T of oil in a heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the braciole and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the marinara sauce. Cover partially with foil and bake until the meat is almost ender, turning the braciole and basting with the sauce every 30 minutes. After 1 hour, uncover and continue baking until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes longer. The total cooking time should be about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the braciole from the sauce. Using a large sharp knife, cut the braciole crosswise and diagonally into 1/2" thick slices. Transfer the slices to plates. Spoon the sauce over and serve.
